Great work flowed from the sociologists of the Frankfurt school examining culture as a lived experience and its role in modern societies.

Frankfurt school refers to a group of chiefly German social theorists associated with the Frankfurt Institute of Social Research founded in 1923. Authors and sociologists associated with the School are T.W. Adorno, Max Horkeimer, Herbert Marcuse, Friedrich Pollock.

Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno, German philosopher, sociologist, and musicologist. Director of the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research 1958-69, he is known for such works as Dialectic of Enlightenment (1947, written with Max Horkheimer) and Negative Dialectics (1966). In these works Adorno developed his concept of reason as a key factor of social control and concluded that philosophical authoritarianism is inevitably oppressive and all theories should be systematically and consciously rejected.

The underlying philosophy of this group can also be found in the more recent work of Jurgen Habermas, a student of Adorno.

Frankfurt school developed critical theory, an extension and development of the ideas of Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud.
